[Qgis-user] Lines defined by CSV

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

The QGIS CSV driver support WKT geometry. So I would recommend that you
format your line with a WKT LINESTRING geometry. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text 

Alternatively, you can load the CSV and use a virtual layer and use the
onboard geometry builder expressions of QGIS.

> I have CSV files that define line features using Start and End XYZ Coordinates (SX, SY, SZ, EX, EY, EZ) I get the lines by Displaying the Start and End points in 2 different views then combining them into one SHP. Then using Point to Lines I create the lines based on the Feature ID shared between the Start and End Points. My question is; is there an easier way to do this? It seems like something that people would do quite often but I cannot find any tools for doing this directly from the CSV in either QGIS or Esri?
